- Folks,
- I have written an "at" program for my 3b1 (actually it is SVR2
- portable), and I am wondering what the interest level is in my sending it
- off to comp.sources.3b1 for public consumption (my reputation IS on the line
- after all |-}).
- It provides all of the features of a BSD at, and adds some usability
- and rationality that I thought appropriate. eg: What is this with the
- at.allow and at.deny in BSD-at? If one exists but is empty, then all can
- schedule jobs, otherwise only root can do so, etc...? Silly! Mine provides
- user submitable jobs which run at their permission level, flexible scheduling
- strings by means of the getdate() function posted with the libbsd recently, and
- other little goodies like preserving a queue across shutdown and startup.
- Let me know if there is interest, if desired I will send off the shar
- to Dave (comp.sources.3b1 moderator) within the week. If I have simply
- rewritten in ignorance something that is already available, let me know that
- too, so I can kick myself a little. |-}
